Horologium

Horologium, The Pendulum Clock, is one of those obscure constellations of the southern hemisphere invented by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in the mid-eighteenth century. He made this constellation from some faint stars near Eridanus. The pendulum clock was invented by Christian Huygens and the constellation was originally called Horologium Oscillatorium.
